Letter: Men, sex and football
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: With reference to your leading article "Send her off and let me watch the football!" (5 May), I appear to be one of the few men in England determined to avoid seeing any of the World Cup; a lecture on the history of plywood would be more interesting. Instead, I intend to spend June and July shopping in London's West End, enjoying candle- lit dinners, sipping champagne in exclusive nightclubs, staying in five- star hotels - and having sex. Please feel free to pass on my address and telephone number to any disgruntled wives or girlfriends of football fans who would like to join me.
